Oh my goodness, I can’t write enough to explain my love of this book. It was a heartfelt family friendly book, my child and I read it together, and was composed of aspects we both enjoyed. I cried a few times and even angrily threw the book when the main character made a (seemingly) dumb choice. It was an easy read and I know will be on the hunt for more written by the author.

Wow! This book was amazing. One of the best I’ve read in a long time. I truly couldn’t put it down. I laughed, cried, tensed up. It put waves of emotions through me. It’s the story of being human, of questioning what we’ve always thought. It’s beautiful and anyone who reads it would benefit from the story told.
